dworkin wasn't the only feminist at the time who said that. audre lorde, monica sjoo, sheila jeffreys and even bell hooks criticized heteropatriarchy. all of this begain around the time betty friedan condemned lesbianism and the lavender menace movement began.

especially if you're a striaght woman or man, the concept can be hard to swallow. "bargaining with patriarchy" is an article by turkish author deniz kandiyoti that explains the idea in a straightforward way.

(this isn't to say i wholeheartedly agree with the criticisms about straight relationships, sharing some info. thanks for the reading list material btw, i'll add it to op. this bridge called my back is on the list already but it's really great.)

Let's note it was Black feminists that coined the term identity politics: http://historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/combrivercoll.html

• a Black feminist that coined the theory of intersectionality.

Solanas begins by presenting a theory of the male as an "incomplete female" who is genetically deficient due to the Y chromosome.31 According to Solanas, this genetic deficiency causes the male to be emotionally limited, egocentric, and incapable of mental passion or genuine interaction.

Intersectionality lies at the intersection of oppression against certain identities within the power structures of a given society, not at the intersection of identities

I mean, is it really that extreme?

If you replace the words "men, male" with "women, female" it pretty much reads as a history book. I think that was probably her point.
